Abstract
The zinc(II) complex of octaethyloxophlorin dianion, Zn II (OEPOH), readily dissolves in pyridine (py) to form red, air-sensitive solutions from which crystalline {(py)Zn II (OEPOH..py)} has been isolated. The X-ray crystal structure reveals the presence of a five-coordinate zinc with an axial pyridine ligand and a planar oxophlorin macrocycle. The meso-hydroxyl substituent is hydrogen bonded to a second pyridine
